My wife smoked during her pregnancy with our second and third child (both girls). Both are teenagers now and both are Honor Roll students at schools with a score of 10 (academic scores for California rated 1 -10, 10 the highest). I was against her using Pot, but there are no effects that i have seen, and it helped my wife get through her sickness. Marajuana is good, and I hope it is leagalized sooner than later!
I am not a cigarette smoker, so have never tried to smoke marijuana, , but I have questions about why it is not legal, but alcohol is, and so many of our wonderful prescribed drugs, that have life threatening side effects. Here are the side effects of Zofran, which is commonly prescribed for morning sickness……..Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, throat, or tongue; wheezing; unusual hoarseness); chest or jaw pain, numbness of an arm or leg, or sudden severe headache or vomiting; fainting; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; fever; seizures; severe or persistent dizziness; skin tingling or numbness; stomach pain; trouble urinating; uncontrolled muscle movements; vision changes or loss.! VISION OR HEARING LOSS??SEIZURES??
I don’t like drugs. Legal or unlegal. When doctor subscribes you any medication s/he has to always weight the pros and cons. Overmedicating is very bad thing and IMO very irresponsible from doctor BUT medicines do help and when the help is big enaugh compared to harm you need to take them. There shouldn’t be any distinction between marijuona and something synthesized by farmaseutical companies.
When thinking about using mj during pregnancy you have to weight it’s ill effects against ill effects from continuous nausea and medications you already take.
You should be carfull when taking medicines (or mj) but sometimes not taking affects more badly than taking.
Well, I’m a pretty conservative person and I’ve never smoked pot, but now in my late 30s, it’s something that I’d love to try. LOL!
I don’t plan on any additional pregnancies, but with all the morning sickness I experienced with two pregnancies, I’d be totally open to trying it.
I took zofran with my second pregnancy. It worked wonderfully, but was so expensive that my insurance would only cover 10 pills a month. It made me so constipated it was like giving birth to get rid of one tiny turd.
I had morning sickness so bad, that I smoked with my son. It worked so much, felt better. It is truley amazing, when you are so sick that a very simple thing made me feel so good, the feeling of not being sick is the best feeling in the world. My son, who is now 7 is the smartes boy in his class. My older 2 children, who I did not smoke with are the one having trouble in school. I honestly do not think that has anything to do with the brains of a child. he is the most funniest, loving, and smart child I have ever meet.
I had the stomach flu while I was 7 months pregnant and smoked a little. I did not throw up again. My dad smoke after chemo treatment to not throw up and be able to eat. This is a plant that grows naturally people. I think it’s crazy for people to judge Marijauna but not think twice about putting high fructose corn syrup, processed food, msg or prescription drugs in your body while pregnant. Talk about poison! If it keeps you from being sick doesn’t that benefit you and your baby. I think drinking a diet coke is WAY worse for you and your baby.
You know, I had a daughter born 3 months prematurely due to an incompetent cervix and I smoked during my whole pregnancy. She is now 5 months old and is doing fantastic, she has no health issues what so ever. She was 1 lb 12 ounces at birth and she is now 11 lbs at a corrected age of 2 months. She is even rolling over and trying to crawl. More advanced than normal. If anything, maybe smoking marijuana helped her.
My wife smoked with our first kid. He’s OK but can be asinine at times. He’s a loveable rogue!
The pregnancy went well, he was delivered 1 week late. We named him Chris and he weighed 6.19lbs. My wife didnt smoke like a rasta or anything, just the odd “spootypuff” once in a while. Aod she seems to have gone through the ordeal with no lasting issues. Looking back now it was kinda fun but scary. First time she tried it she was staying at a HotelPro.
No big deal in the end.
Over 29 years ago, I smoked with my first child. I did not have any morning sickness throughout my pregancy. She came out healthy, was a straight “A” student in school and college. Over 21 years ago, I did not smoke with my second child. I had morning sickness throughout my pregancy. She was born 3 months early, weighed 1 lb, 14 ozs, and struggled through school. That was a long time ago before Medical MJ and it worked fine for me!!
I didn’t take anything at all during my first pregnancy, but smoked during my second two pregnancies. My firstborn had ADD/EBD and got a rare tumor in his leg bone. He didn’t get very good grades and barely graduated. My second two children, the ones I smoked with, are both perfectly normal, get good grades, and are the picture of health. All babies were over 8 lbs (the third was over 9).
I wish the stigma against pot would go away. I do agree that people who abuse it are losers—if you can’t get your responsibilities taken care of because you’re smoking, then you’re abusing it (not to mention yourself). I think those who do nothing but smoke and let their lives fall in shambles around them are the ones that give it a bad name.
I smoked when I was pregnat with both my kids. When the morning sickness went away I didn’t feel the need to smoke anymore and stopped. The doctors knew I was doing it as well. My kids were born healthy and are smart, great kids now.
Any women who lacks common sense and there are plenty of you won’t have any mistakes ( babies ). You deserve
morning sickness and all the other problems going with the baby.

Wow, I can’t believe that that is a good idea. But go for it. This way my kids (who have never even come close to pot smoke) can outperform your kids in life.
Tony and Alison? You’re comments are WAY out of line. But to each their own opinion.
I smoked with the first- She is an honor roll student and has been since school started.
I didn’t smoke much with my second. He is ADHD, ODD and Bi-polar.
Do what feels right to you.
I don’t know about any of you, but I managed to get through 5 pregnancies dealing with my “morning sickness” by drinking Constant Comment tea. It took away the nausea, didn’t harm my self or my children, and was perfectly legal and inexpensive. There are MANY alternatives to pharmaceutical and illegal drugs.
I never heard of such a thing and with my first pregnancy, I was sick 24/7 almost the entire time. I managed to get through it but if I had read studies that show it’s safe and if my doc had stated it was, then I don’t know. I think I’d still be worried about the welfare of my child. I might’ve done what I did anyway deal with it without any assistance. Just suffer through it. Then again, I wasn’t working, either.
All the moms raving about their above average intelligence children struck me as odd when taken as a whole because it made it seem as if smoking pot would increase a child’s intelligence. I know that wasn’t the intention (just no adverse side effects). But remember, you too can have above average children without taking a toke. :P
I have to admit, while I was MORTIFIED at first when reading this, my mind is more open to the concept. I am NOT a big fan of pharmaceutical drugs, so I use a lot of homeopathic supplements to stay healthy…herbs, from the ground, that are natural. I do this to avoid having to take (or give my children) antibiotics or even over-the-counter chemical medications. So really, what’s the difference? I am about as anti-cigarettes as you can get, and don’t know about legalizing pot because I think most people are too stupid to be responsible with it…but for this, I have to say, I can’t argue with the results…
How big are these ladies that they can actually lose SIXTY lbs in three months? Sorry, I know that wasn’t the point of the article…
HEALTHY BABY ALL THE WAY IS ALL THAT MATTERS & IF A LIL POT HELPS THEN SO BE IT MAMA’S!!! PS I was blessed with an awesome pregnancy & never got sick, but my heart goes out to those that didn’t have the same blessing as me. Do what makes ya happy & better!
